Every Valentine's Day, flowers are bought, kisses are blown and restaurants are booked throughout the night for candlelit dinners between two loved ones.

Movie Review: ‘Fool’s Gold’ just another romantic comedy

Published Feb 12, 2008

Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are together again.


"Fool's Gold" provides a natural romantic comedy combined with a minor sense of adventure, attempting to hold the male attention, which is something that does not occur often.

Letter to the editor: Presentation pigeonholed workplace gender differences

Published Feb 12, 2008
